DJ and producer Diplo has responded via Instagram to recent allegations of distributing revenge porn, denying several claims while facing a lawsuit from a woman identified as Jane Doe in California federal court.

Key Details of the Case:

• The lawsuit was filed on June 27 by a New York woman (Jane Doe)
• Communication between the two allegedly began in April 2016 via Snapchat
• They maintained an intimate relationship from June 2016 to October 2023
• In November 2023, another woman contacted Jane Doe claiming to have received intimate images from Diplo in October 2018

Legal Developments:

• The NYPD has confirmed an active investigation with a criminal complaint filed against Thomas Pentz (Diplo's real name)
• Jane Doe claims she never consented to the recording or distribution of intimate content
• The lawsuit states the alleged distribution has caused "extreme and severe emotional distress" and other personal injuries

Diplo's Response:

Through his Instagram post, Diplo stated: "Don't believe what you read in the news," dismissing various claims while sharing content from his European shows.

His attorney, Bryan J. Freedman, defended him stating: "Time and again, Wes has been targeted by a group of untrustworthy individuals and their unscrupulous lawyers, cobbling together falsehoods in search of a meritless payday."

Additional Context:

Diplo is currently involved in a separate legal battle with Shelly Auguste since 2020, which includes similar allegations. A civil trial related to this case is scheduled for January 2025.
